All of Me

Psalms 60-62

One of my favorite Willie Nelson songs is his rendition of All of Me. Much of the same emotion is poured in Psalm 62 as the psalmist declares his love for God... "Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation." Willie and countless others second the psalmists motion that they are no good without the object of their desire. To claim that we love God and not trust him, lean on him, give him All of Me would be to voice a lie, for love surfaces not as a gushy feeling, but rather as a willingness to give one's all... to lay down one's life for another. So thankful that God loved me. I too, love him and give him all of me.
